  • This seems completely foreign to me.
    My boss summons me for a one-on-one if it’s getting late in the year and I haven’t taken all my PTO yet.
    If I collect too much of it, or too much overtime, without using it, I can get written up.
    Sometimes it’s not easy either, with 42 days of PTO a year (plus unlimited sick days).




  • cage is a minimalist Wayland compositor that only shows a single application in fullscreen. When you close the app, it drops you back to your console.
    It’s compatible with programs that need X11 through XWayland, and it has practically no loading times.

    cage -ds firefox would open Firefox in fullscreen.
    Option -d hides client-side decorations and -s allows you to switch from Wayland to another TTY using Ctrl+Alt+F[1-6]

    I put aliases for the programs I use in my .bashrc so I can just type FF[Enter] and a second later I have Firefox open.


  • That is exactly the reason why I like the text interface so much. It makes you think about what you want to do next.

    In a graphical environment, there are lots of hints right in front of you what you could do next (made even worse in other OSs that use pop-ups).

    In a text environment, unless you actively do something, all you get is a blinking cursor.

    It increases my productivity and reduces time wasted on the computer, not because it is a bit faster, but because I don’t get distracted.










  • Yes. I have absolutely no idea what its purpose or use case is.
    On a TTY, it has no mouse click support. It also has no keyboard navigation support in general. So how am I supposed to navigate websites?
    On a terminal inside a graphical environment it’s completely useless, cause I’m in a graphical environment and can just use Firefox.

    Seriously, if anyone is using Browsh or Carbonyl productively, I’d love to know for what.
